Topic: Flashing a new bios on an old Laptop. (Read 1037 times)

I have resurrected an old Laptop and installed peppermint 3 via cd. The Bios does not support usb booting and I wondered if it was possible to upgrade the bios by flashing it with a new one.......and how?

I remember years ago in my XP days that my old computers were able to have bios upgrades. What happened?

You still can upgrade your bios, though this wll also give you a chance to brick it. As far as I can tell the latest bios is F.24 A (16 Oct 2007) and there is no mention in the revision history for adding booting from USB devices.
